Analysis: It wasn't the New York governor or the times that changed so much as what the public knew about Cuomo's conduct.
WASHINGTON — Andrew Cuomo's era ended before his governorship, but he is no political dodo bird.serving as the political muscle for his father
By the time he was governor, he knew all the levers of the state and federal governments and how to use his power over fellow politicians and his own staff members. In other words, Cuomo, 63, has had an up-close look at the use and abuse of power his entire adult life. "A year ago, Andrew Cuomo was considered by many to be a national hero. Now, he's a national disgrace," said Rebecca Kirszner Katz, a New York-based political operative who works with progressives."What changed? It certainly wasn't Andrew Cuomo."
State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and state Senate President Dean Skelos were convicted on corruption charges in 2015. Both had directed business to companies that paid them or members of their families — a practice with deep roots in state legislatures that then-U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara and juries viewed as criminal abuses of power.
